VMware & Thinstall
It is like Dögel IT always said: The future in the field of application delivery belongs to Thinstall. The best proof for this forecast is the latest event:
By now Thinstall belongs to the big VMware family.
VMware, Inc., the virtualization software leader, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Thinstall, a privately-held application virtualization software company headquartered in San Francisco. VMware is acquiring Thinstall to expand its desktop virtualization capabilities which help customers better provision, deploy and update desktop environments.
“Delivering software applications to an organization’s workforce is the single largest cost of desktop administration today,” said Jeff Jennings, vice president of desktop products and solutions at VMware. “
Thinstall’s third generation solution offers the best technological approach in the market for application virtualization, providing faster, easier and more secure delivery of software applications to desktop-based workforces.
Thinstall decouples applications from underlying operating systems, improving isolation and portability for applications across desktop environments. Agentless application virtualization, pioneered by Thinstall, requires no pre-installed software on physical or virtual PC’s and no new deployment infrastructure or management tools.
Thinstall’s architecture integrates into existing application management systems to deliver virtualized applications across a variety of operating system versions. Thinstall significantly decreases the time to value of a software application and reduces the overhead of costly integrations. For example, a municipal institution turned to Thinstall to completely eliminate software installation conflicts that previously made up a huge part of the administrative work.
The acquisition of Thinstall by VMware, makes clear which significance a established software leader like VMware sees in the technology of software virtualization.
Dögel IT Management, the largest partner of Thinstall in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, was able to realize many projects in the past few months. Use this new technology for your company, too! You will not be sorry!
